[Systemd]

There's no need to be combative here. I see no no problem with documenting how to get it working for those who want to try it (although I'm not sure those instructions are 100% correct) so long as they understand that it is not officially supported (and while systemd does work in Funtoo it is necessary to restore certain ebuilds to the their Gentoo variants). There are actually quite a few Funtoo users using systemd because while they want systemd, they also want Funtoo be their underlying ecosystem so I see no reason to remove it.

 

In any case, it is not entirely systemd I dislike but rather the exponentially growing insistence that it must be used and the removal of support for any other alternatives and without a proper transition period.

 

This is why I decided to deliver a complete (or nearly complete) GNOME 3.12+ experience without systemd.

 

P.S. Woodelf, I remember you from your one blog post regarding GNOME 3.12. For the record, it took me about a week if you count testing, not half a year :).

Ya, my mistake. In my feelings, it really took a long way to move to gnome 3.12. Great work!

 

Now Funtoo is the only OS on my laptop, I enjoy it.

 

Just treat systemd as my personal excessive demands. Anyway, openrc works fine and it is simple.

 

Looking forward to the wayland support without systemd. :)

[Systemd]

Well, systemd is an alternative to openrc, and I like it too.

 

No offense, but in my opinion, since systemd is still in-tree, then there should be some basic support for it. Otherwise, just remove it from portage tree. This is quite reasonable.

 

Another reason for systemd support: I want to have a bit taste on gnome 3.14 over wayland (but I do not like Arch or other distros). However, wayland requires systemd as its dependency.

 

Of course, if funtoo devs could remove systemd dependency from wayland, then I will happily stay with openrc.
